In the early and mid 2000s Chingy was one of the biggest stars in hip-hop. His music was on every radio station, even crossing over into the pop world. The St. Louis native hasn’t been heard from for a number of years, though, which is why I caught up with him to find out what he’s been up to. What I learned is he’s been through some tragedies, started his own label, Full Dekk Music Group, and is ready to work his way back into the limelight.
